Christie embarrasses a progressive state

This artwork by Mark Weber relates to the sales tax debate in New Jersey that shut down casinos and state-run operations.

I have always been proud to be from New Jersey and never hesitate to tell people I meet wherever I travel about its great benefits.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to do this with the embarrassment that we have for a governor.

Never mind Bridgegate or the special election for U.S. Senate that he scheduled which cost taxpayers millions so that he could have the spotlight on Election Day. His trip to CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) recently to pal around with right-wing Republicans and gun nuts to bash our president was a slap in the face to our great state.

I think of New Jersey as a progressive state, but Gov. Christie is taking us backwards. He would be better suited to being governor of a state like Texas or Mississippi.

My disappointment is with the people of my state who elected him not once, but twice.
